Talk:Dairy Farming Promotion Organization of Thailand

Numbers of tons in article
There is something wrong, probably the Bangkok Post reference from 21st December 2018, that states DPO buys 700 tons raw milk of a total combined output of 3,300 tons raw milk per year.

The renovated Chiang Mai factory produce 15 tons milk a day, i.e. 15 tons x 365 days = 5,475 tons a year, which doesn't fit with that DPO buy's 700 tons raw milk a year.

The per capita milk consumption is stated as 17 to 18 liter per year. So 69 million people (capita) x 17 liters = 1,173,000,000 liters; and lets say 1 liter equals 1 kilo to be easy, then that figure is 1,173,000 ton a year. If divided with 365 days the result is 3,214 tons.

If my logic sense is not way out here, then the combined output of 3,300 tons raw milk must be per day, not per year; and DPO buys 700 ton per day.--Per Meistrup (talk) 18:15, 18 October 2020 (UTC)


 * You are correct. Both figures are per day. That's an error in the Post article. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:00, 19 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reply, I also checked the other ref – D.P.O.'s information folder – which states that D.P.O. buys "over 585 tons/day". PS: I'm writing an article in da-Wiki, that's why I found the differences.--Per Meistrup (talk) 07:45, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
